Supervised Visitation Services

Service Description:

Supervised Visitation is a service used in order to facilitate contact between children or youth in

out of home care and their biological parents, relatives or significant others, primarily a site-

based service or a community setting. All sites must be approved in advance by the Area Office.

(This is not a parent aide service).

The hourly rate for this service includes the cost of transporting the child receiving the service.

DCF can authorize supplemental payment:

When the distance either to or from the location that credentialed providers travel to pick up or

drop off the child receiving the service exceeds twenty (20) miles; when there are different area

offices that credentialed providers travel to pick up/drop off two (+) children receiving the service

from the same case; or when there are different locations that credentialed providers travel to

pick up/drop off two (+) children receiving the service from different cases.

Note: The total miles from/ to the credentialed provider's office location to/ from child's location

is the maximum number of miles reimbursable.

Duration:

Maximum of 25 hours or 60 days whichever comes first. This rate includes all of the children in

the home. (see footnote #1)

Service Type:

• Supervised Visit – Foster Care (613)

Service Rate (Maximum):

• $45 per hour

*Supervision of staff must occur at a minimum of .25 per child or youth per month. This must be face to face with a

licensed behavioral health practitioner in good standing. A clinical consultant to the organization can provide the

supervision and the supervision may occur in a group.

DCF does not reimburse for “NO SHOWS” if the appointment has been cancelled by DCF before the provider/staff has left for the service. If DCF fails to cancel the appointment, payment will be made for the

time spent in travel and for the time spent waiting for the child.

(footnote 1) Only time spent delivering the service is reimbursable. For example, time spent driving is not

reimbursable, unless transporting the child receiving the service.
